The company also reports that more than 5 million unique claims have been processed using a CCC deep learning AI solution, and the number of claims using two or more of its AI applications has more than doubled year over year. Today, more than 75 auto insurers are actively applying CCC’s advanced AI to power claims decisions and improve policyholder experiences.

We are powering AI innovations at scale and are proud to help each client use AI to provide a tailored experience for their customers.»

The sharp growth of AI-powered claims is driven by: 

• Increased Adoption: As usage of CCC’s mobile technology has reached a tipping point, insurers have quickly turned to AI to further speed and inform the claims process. The number of insurers using CCC’s proven AI solutions grew more than 30 percent year-over-year.
• Expanded Application: Innovation has driven AI into multiple phases of the claims process, and today includes estimating, audit, total loss handling, AI-based data validation, and more as the industry progresses towards its vision of straight-through processing.
• Personalized Decisions: With more than 300 active AI models supporting client-specific rules, insurers and their customers are benefitting from more personalized claims decisions.

A leader in AI-informed solutions, CCC’s application of AI expands beyond claims decision making.

«Artificial intelligence is contributing to safer, more accurate, and accelerated decisions across the APD claims lifecycle and across the P&C insurance ecosystem,» said Barrett Callaghan, executive vice president, markets and customer success, CCC. «Policyholders are benefiting from expedited processing. Lienholders can now be notified of a total loss days earlier. And AI is helping to ensure repair facilities big and small receive a greater percentage of repairable vehicles, eliminating noise and increasing productivity. The benefits of increased AI adoption span the network.»

HANGZHOU, China, March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Dahua Technology, a world leading video-centric smart IoT solution and service provider, recently released its updated WizSense – a series of AI products and complete end-to-end solutions based on deep learning that focus on human and vehicle. It benefits users with intelligent functions, simple configuration and inclusive products.

The updated WizSense features SMD 3.0, an upgraded version of SMD Plus. It can effectively filter out irrelevant objects such as animals, leaves, light, etc., providing an improved human/vehicle detection accuracy rate of 99%. It also offers a longer detection distance of 25 meters (2.8mm fixed focal camera). It is currently available on IPC, with plans to expand in the future.

In addition, the Active Deterrence function helps deter intruders in time with built-in mic, siren, and blue & red light.

Active Deterrence also sends a real-time push notification that shows the trigger type (human or vehicle), enabling users to act accordingly.

Moreover, the Time-sharing Monitoring function of WizSense allows users to preset camera positions based on time tasks. In a retail shop scenario for example, a PTZ camera (e.g., PTZ SD3A series) can actively monitor the store’s main area during day time, and automatically switch to the entrance during non-business hours. Additionally, this product line’s Two-way Talk allows users to communicate with the detected target through the DMSS app or PC client.

TAORMINA, Italy, March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Perched high above the deep blue waters of the Ionian Sea and in the magnetic presence of Mount Etna, one of Europe’s most storied hotels will soon be reborn as San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel.

«This is truly a jewel in our crown of historic properties throughout the Mediterranean region, and the perfect complement to our beloved Four Seasons hotels in Milan and Florence,» says Simon Casson, President, Hotel Operations – Europe, Middle East and Africa. «San Domenico Palace is a legend in European hospitality, and it is our honour to welcome the hotel into our portfolio on the occasion of its 125th anniversary.»

Returning to his home country from his most recent Four Seasons assignments in Dubai and a round-the-world career in luxury hospitality, General Manager Lorenzo Maraviglia leads a dedicated team that is writing a new chapter in the history of San Domenico Palace.  «We are delighted to reopen in summer, Taormina’s high season, so that we can welcome our guests for a uniquely Sicilian holiday experience.  Taormina’s landmarks are at our doorstep, and the ancient Greek Theatre is a stroll away as are countless other historic sites to discover, endless countryside for scenic hikes, and the siren call of Isola Bella and the Grotta Azzura – part of an exclusive yacht excursion that is just one of the bespoke experiences we are planning for our guests.»

Built on the site of a 14th century Dominican convent, the San Domenico Hotel first came to life in 1896 with the addition of a new building in Italian Liberty style (today’s Grand Hotel Wing) adjacent to accommodations converted from former quarters in the Ancient Convent Wing.  It soon became a highlight on the Grand Tour, favoured by royalty and nobility and increasingly, a colourful cast of artists, writers and Hollywood stars.  Set amid lush Italian gardens with sweeping sea views, the Hotel pairs contemporary art with antiquities and architectural relics throughout.  Intimate at just 111 guest rooms and suites (some with private terraces and plunge pools), the Hotel also boasts a spa and gym, and an infinity pool terrace.

The culinary team is led by Sicilian-born Executive Chef Massimo Mantarro, whose signature style is showcased at the award-winning Principe Cerami.  Etna’s rich terroir is the inspiration for a memorable culinary journey enhanced by Sicilian wines here and at the additional dining options, including Anciovi, a fabulous poolside restaurant, and Rosso, the all-day-dining venue with a spectacular terrace.

More than 1,700 square metres (18,300 square feet) of beautiful indoor-outdoor event spaces invite both corporate retreats and social gatherings, and wedding couples will love the opportunity to exchange vows in this historic setting.

Be among the first to experience a new chapter in the storied history of San Domenico Palace: In celebration of its reopening this summer, San Domenico Palace is extending an Introductory Offer that includes 20 percent savings on the room rate and breakfast for two with a minimum two night stay through November 2021. To make a reservation, book online or call +39 0942 613111.

Wedding couples, event hosts and meeting planners are invited to contact catering.sdh@fourseasons.com to inquire about event facilities and arrange virtual site tours.

Four Seasons in Italy

Joining two sister properties in Milan and Florence, San Domenico Palace is the latest historic property to be reborn as a Four Seasons experience.  Four Seasons Hotel Milano is a chic urban sanctuary built on centuries of history in the Fashion District, while Four Seasons Hotel Firenze is a Renaissance palazzo boasting the city’s largest private garden.

For a modern-day Italian Grand Tour, Four Seasons is currently offering From Italy with Love, where guests receive a EUR 85 credit for spa or food and beverage with a minimum of two nights each in two Four Seasons hotels in in the collection (four consecutive nights).  The offer is valid through November 2021, with more information available online.

Four Seasons has also just announced plans for development of the fourth property in its growing Italian collection, a new seaside resort on the Adriatic coast of Puglia, near Ostuni.

ORLANDO, Fla., March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology solutions provider to leisure, entertainment and cultural markets, has expanded its partnership with Alterra Mountain Company to provide six of the company’s North American mountain destinations – Snowshoe Mountain Resort in West Virginia; Deer Valley Resort in Utah; Mammoth Mountain in California; Steamboat in Colorado; Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows in California; and, Blue Mountain Resort in Ontario, Canada – with mobile food and beverage (F&B) technology.  

Alterra Mountain Company currently leverages accesso‘s guest experience management technology, The Experience Engine™ (TE2), to power the app for its global season pass, Ikon Pass. The new and enhanced integration of technology enables more than 40 food and beverage service locations across six ski areas to provide guests access to mobile ordering and restaurant arrival time booking functionality. This augmented use of the TE2 solution also extends Alterra Mountain Company’s ability to establish guest profiles through a centralized guest identity and stored wallet feature and linking of mobile F&B purchases and restaurant arrival bookings.

The flexible operating model offered by accesso’s guest experience management platform provides operators a variety of ways to cater to guests’ mobile F&B needs. Guests have the power to curate the dining experience they desire, with easy access to dining information and menu specifics that they can explore at their own pace. Once they decide on their restaurant, they can book an arrival time or go straight to ordering their food. When ordering, guests can customize their selections, claim special offers customized for them and choose their preferred method of pickup or delivery order fulfillment – all through the Ikon Pass mobile app or a separate, standalone web portal. The multichannel availability of mobile F&B ordering with the TE2 solution eliminates any limitations on guests based on technology access, allowing them to order food from anywhere, at any time and with any device. Finally, the platform’s Kitchen Order Management System enables orders to be managed and delivered quickly and efficiently supporting an array of operating procedures.

«Over the last two years, we’ve seen the power of Accesso technology through our collaboration on the Ikon Pass app, which has enabled us to help provide our guests with new technologies that offer convenience and a seamless experience,» said Ellen Lee, senior vice president of digital marketing and experience, Alterra Mountain Company.

accesso’s food and beverage solution is designed to greatly streamline operations, providing staff access to the ordering system via traditional printers, mobile tablets and more. And, for seated dining areas, operators can offer same-day bookings or advance reservations, allowing for greater, more accurate capacity control, which is key for safety and security of guests and staff alike in the age of physical distancing. Additionally, operators benefit from the ability to craft data-driven, revenue-boosting up-sell and cross-sell opportunities that match the preferences of each unique guest, ensuring that offers are delivered at the right time and to the right person.

«We’re very proud to expand our partnership with Alterra Mountain Company – a forward-thinking leader in its industry – and look forward to working together to redefine F&B operations at several of its North American properties,» said Steve Brown, accesso CEO. «Today, harnessing the power of contactless technology is more important than ever. We appreciate the opportunity to support Alterra Mountain Company as it works to provide a convenient and unforgettable experience for its guests, while creating new opportunities for revenue generation in the process.»
